“Impatience,” one Hudson source said in explanation of Fulop’s comfort level in the HCDO room. “Impatience with Brian Stack.”

But another source said Fulop is simply more focused on being the mayor of Jersey City than going to war against the HCDO with the Union City Democratic Party renegade.

“It was a very good night for Schillari to have both Healy and Fulop there,” said Democratic Party operative and Sacco spokesman Paul Swibinski. “He’s supported apparently by everyone in Hudson except Brian P. Stack.”

No one would say who is running against Schillari.

At war with the HCDO after walking back his endorsement of Healy, Assemblyman Sean Connors (D-31) was once thought to be a possibility, but the detective-legislator now appears to be in political no man’s land.
